Jug

attributed to workshop of Knütgen, Anno, 1576

The neck of the jug is embellished with an angel bearing the arms of England. The body is decorated twice with the arms of Salentin von Isenburg-Grenzau (Archbishop of Cologne) between two rampant lions. There does not seem to be any connection between the English and the Cologne coats of arms; the potter simply used the templates available to him in the workshop.
